EU SDG-driven Innovation Ecosystems Stimulating economic growth and addressing innovation support imbalances in Europe and beyond

The goal of this proposal is to build the capacity to co-create and foster an inclusive EU SDG driven innovation ecosystem, focused on the greatest social, economic and environmental needs of our time, thereby contributing to the realization of the green and digital transition of Europe. Its aim is to provide capacity-building activities to enable the establishment of SDGs-driven innovation ecosystems across Italy, France Portugal, CEE and Israel. We will foster the existing cross-sector collaboration, within the NAB’s and GSG, between the private (investors, comports, startups, SMEs) public (Governments, EU agencies, development banks), academia (research, knowledge, R&D and social (NGOS, philanthropy, social enterprises) actors as a means to plan the establishment of an interconnected and sustainable ecosystem by delivering new research and data, facilitating knowledge exchange, creating new collaboration and engagement opportunities within existing networks and beyond.
